Web Exclusive


Girija Prasad Koirala, (1925-2010),  four-time prime minister of Nepal, died just after noon on 20 March after a protracted illness. Credited with sculpting the peace deal that ended the decade-long Maoist insurgency, GP Koirala’s political career spanning more than 60 years is also a history of the movement for democracy in Nepal.
Read Kanak Mani Dixit's Obit: 'Southasian democrat dies at the helm'

Plus: Read 'GP: Man of the Moment', the introduction to Koirala's Simple Convictions: My Struggle for Peace and Democracy on the life, politics and legacy of GP Koirala
